FAQs

What is a 52 monster defense? ›

The 52 monster defense features 5 defensive linemen, 2 inside linebackers, 2 cornerbacks, a free safety and a strong safety (monster).

In American football, the 5–2 defense is a defensive alignment consisting of five down linemen and two linebackers.

The disadvantage is in pass coverage — most 5-2 teams will rush all 5 defensive linemen leaving only 6 pass defenders. In some circ*mstances a 5-2 team will drop one of the linemen, typically an end also known as a rush end, off into coverage.

The most common way an offense will attack a 4-2-5 defense is to attack the side away from the Sam linebacker/Rover. The 4-2-5 is not a mirror defense, so simply attacking the defense on the side with less players is the easy first answer.

The monster man is lined up on the side with more skill players on the offense, anticipating the ball being moved on the strong side. The defense should be focused on block destruction, alignment, gap control, and tackling. Having a strong safety on this side allows the defense to adjust.

Monster Defense is an action game where you must kill all the monsters by throwing your spears at them. Protect your monster companion from hordes of monsters that want to eat it. Craft weapons from the monsters' broken parts, and also don't forget to sharpen it. Have fun!

In American football, a 4–3 defense is a defensive alignment consisting of four down linemen and three linebackers. It is called a "base defense" because it is the default defensive alignment used on "base downs" (1st and 2nd downs).

Unlike most defensive formations that take their names from the number of defensive linemen and linebackers on the field (i.e. the 4–3 defense has 4 linemen and 3 linebackers), the name "46" originally came from the jersey number of Doug Plank, who was a starting strong safety for the Bears when Ryan developed the ...

The 5-3-2 formation is a defensive-minded football formation that emphasizes a strong defensive structure and compactness in midfield. It is often used by teams that are looking to frustrate the opposition and counter-attack quickly when opportunities arise.

Weak: “Weak” is a term that I think every basketball coach should use on defense. “Weak” means that if there is a middle pick & roll and the defending big yells out, “Weak”, the on-ball defender knows to force the ball to his right (force dribbler to his/her left) why the big plays the scheme/coverage.

What is the weakness of a 5 3 defense? ›

The base version of the youth football 5-3 Bear can be a little weak in the strong side C gap and a lot of coaches will walk the strong side linebacker up in the C gap and play man coverage on the tight end. Another way to combat this weakness is to bring pressure off of the strong side.

The best way to attack a 3-3-5 defense is in the seams if you're throwing it, and off the edge if you're running it. Four verts will always kill cover 3, which is the base coverage for most 3-3 stack teams.

In American football, the 3–3–5 defense is a defensive alignment consisting of three down linemen, three linebackers, and five defensive backs. The 3–3–5 defense can also be referred to as the 3–3 stack or the spread defense.

The fact is that 5-3 Defenses are just simpler to get installed, though. The 5-2 Defense gives a level of flexibility in coverage that you just don't get out of other fronts. The ability to run both 2 High Safety and 1 High Safety coverages makes the defense more effective against the pass than the 5-3 Defense is.

The 2-4-5 is ultimately a defense of specialization as the main pass-rushers are going to be the two stand-up edge rushers. The defense deploys them on the edge because that's the easiest way to utilize a pure pass-rusher and they aren't asked to do a great deal other than control the edge and provide pressure.
